MKZ

  • 30,006 miles
A vehicle stopped suddenly in front of me because a car did the same in front of them. I braked suddenly but it felt like my vehicle was being pushed from behind, my steering wheel air bags deployed so did the sides. The air bags deployed before the impact blinding me as I rear ended the car in front. I suffered burns, bruises, neck injuries and lower back pain. I was driving no more than 25-30 miles per hour. My car was a total lost and I had owned it for less than a year.

My airbags didn't deploy resulting in me having life-long injuries. I had a car accident in August 31st, 2017. I T-boned a vehicle that came out of a parking lot illegally resulting in the accident. My airbags didn't deploy. If they had I would not have sustained the injuries that I did. It was over $17,000 worth of damage to my vehicle.
